Hailing from Bulgaria, where Evgeniya Radilova is one of the most well known faces on screen and the stage has come to the United States to share her talents with us. She is the descendant of four generations of artists. This led her down the path of becoming an actress herself. Shortly after graduating from the National School for Music where she learned piano, she was the youngest actress to play on professional stage. Only 18 years old she was cast in one of the biggest TV show productions called "Masters of the TV", where she co-hosted for three years every night on Bulgarian National TV.
She moved to the United States to explore and continue her career as an actress among the best in the business. Here she graduated from The American Academy of Dramatic Arts with Charles Jehlinger Award for Best Actress, and was invited back to be a part of the 2009-10 AADA Company. With her first show after the academy she booked a leading role in an Off- Broadway production of Blood Wedding, which gave her her Equity Card. She garnered rave reviews from the New York press, as well as from the audiences. Since then she has appeared Off Broadway, become a SAG and AFTRA member, and a lifetime member of The Actors Studio. The incredibly talented and marvelous Ellen Burstyn accepted her into the studio as one of the only 3 people who got accepted that year. Evgeniya played opposite Ellen Burstyn as her daughter in a production of the Cherry Orchard at The Studio. The production was directed by John Gould Rubin.
Also, she appeared on TV shows like "Limitless," "Law and Order SVU", "Elementary", "Spartacus", "Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll", and completed several short and feature films. She worked on a film called "Price for Freedom" with Sally Kirkland (Academy Award nominee), Paul Sorvino, Ken Davitian, who played her dad. The film was also profiled on the "Larry King Show". Evgeniya is also featured in the independent film "Dreams Of The Last Butterflies", which has now screened at 50 Film Festivals in 13 countries, on 5 continents! The film also has 7 awards. She was nominated for a Best Actress Award at the "Blow-Up Chicago International Arthouse Film Festival" for her performance in the film "Let Them Have Their Way!"
Recently, Evgeniya co-founded "I DareProductions", where she has been producing, writing and directing for the past two years! Her first music video, "True Paradise" won three festivals: "Winter Film Awards", "LA Cinema Festival of Hollywood" and "Miami Film Festival". A film she directed called "My Relationship With The Moon" won the "Special Recognition Award" at the "Cayanne Film Festival". She also became a proud lifetime member of the Playwrights Directors Unit at The Actors Studio.
She wrote, produced and directed two short films: "Patrik" and "El Cavil". She directed and produced a new music video called "Nothing Changed for Me". And she also is co-producing and co-directing a film called "Then and Now", for which her actor gained 40 pounds for the role.
She was invited for a second year to teach and direct Film and Theatre workshops with the students of Chongqing and Kunming in China. She created two films with them: "Fortune Sticks "& "Marga". She also directed a production of W. Shakespeare's "Midnight Summer's Dream", last summer in Chongqing, China. She gave a very successful talk for film industry and film professors in China, Kuming! And she will be invited back to teach more.
